T. August Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 More like 8 months outside of the mountains. Winters are pretty short around here, Generally 4 months where there is a realistic chance of snow. Well, if I even see a flake in April, it would technically be a 6 month snow season. November (trace), December, January, February, March, and possibly April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Today will probably average out to near normal, so we should have a -7F at IAD this month, over a -5F at BWI and about -4F at DCA. Damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 crazy how often we've hit the sweetspot this winter. the back end is a real thing these days along with march. my whole world has been rocked. Whether it's order in chaos or actual science, we've observed repetitive bullseyes way too many times for it to be just a coincidence. Not just in our area. All over the place. Orange to St. Mary's zone was pretty stark in recent years. This year was a pretty sweet distribution up and down the east coast. N of 40 killed it early and we killed it late. That's pretty uncommon to have the jackpot distribution so equal compare to climo but not really have a common storm. Usually when the MA to SNE gets a big year together it's because of a shared big storm or 2. This year was a machine gun style winter but the aim moved around.

I don't think its that hard to get snow here. What's tough some years is precip. In Winchester this year, the snowiest month was the wettest month, and, you guessed it, the least snowy was the driest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 52.9 and it looks beautiful out. Flood warnings are up for the Monocacy of which I am not surprised. A county park that always gets flooded it under water once again. Will step out on the deck later to see if I can hear the creek behind my house. If it is running high you can hear it.
